I saw a study which compared raw and kibble digestion. They used dye to follow food given through the digestive system. Raw was digested much more slowly than kibble. It makes sense if you think about it. Kibble is so processed there's not as much for their bodies to do to break it down. Protein, fat, bone takes more time to break down.

I'll see if I can find it. I don't know how any could measure that without the technology they had for the study.Julie
